You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 Pair Gloves
  • 1 skein Embroidery Thread
  • Fabric Marker water or self erasing

Steps (6 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw the basics of your design on with the fabric marker pen or chalk. Make up your own design or use mine if you prefer. Unfortunately my pen is purple so it didn't show up especially well on the red gloves, you can just about make it out!

  2. 2

    Cut a length of embroidery thread and separate the 6 strands into 2 lots of 3. Tie a knot at one end and start embroidering your design.

    I used Backstitch:

    Lazy Daisy Stitch:
